The notorious band The Gypsy Pistoleros released 3 critically acclaimed albums and an EP of self-described “the greatest flamenco sleaze glam rock ever”, and now founder and singer Lee Pistolero has gone solo, flying under the GYPSY PISTOLERO flag.
Mastering the dirty sounds of a Gretsch guitar and enlisting the help of former White Trash UK band mate Mark Westwood (Shadowland, Arena, Neo), along with drummer Jeff Williams (Runaway, The Ice Babies), GYPSY PISTOLERO has crafted an amazing album in “DUENDE - Last Of The Pistoleros”.
First single 'Stand and Deliver' - a ferocious makeover of the Adam and The Ants classic, this song sold over 600 downloads in the first 3 hours of being offered on iTunes.
““Duende – Last of the Pistoleros” is an amazing transformation for Pistolero, the re-recorded tunes from his old band show a new depth to the songs, the production is lavish throughout, and the ever-present rock is fleshed out with some heartfelt roll straight from Pistolero’s soul. A ground-breaking album which should elevate the man and his music up to a whole new level.” (Trulie Jackson, www.therockpit.net)
Lee Pistolero formed the band in 2005, deftly melding the classic rock riffs of L.A.’s Sunset Strip with gypsy licks, forging a style which is as exciting as it is unique.
The Pistoleros supported Adler’s Appetite in Spain in January 2006, where they grabbed the attention of the Spanish Rock media and fans alike. The Pistoleros returned by popular demand to support The Dog's D'amour in June, to the fans delight, then toured the UK supporting Canadian bad boys Crystal Pistol.
U.K. and European tours with Love/Hate, Bang Tango, Kristy Majors then Faster Pussycat, Bulletboys, Enuff ZNuff and as special guests of L.A. GUNS followed, before making their U.S. debut opening the inaugural Rocklahoma Festival on 12th July 2007 alongside such Glam Rock n Roll legends as Twisted Sister, Poison, Vince Neil, L.A Guns, Bang Tango, Skid Row, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat and Dokken!!!
The Gypsy Pistoleros returned to the U.S. and ROCKLAHOMA 2008 as the only U.K./Spanish group on the bill, headlining the Friday night on the second stage on July 11th and pulling one of the largest crowds of the festival. As if this wasn’t enough, they repeated the feat at the South Texas Rock Festival the day after! The Gypsy Pistoleros then toured the mid West with support from Dirty Penny, culminating in a triumphant L.A. debut at the famed Whisky a Go Go supported by Vains of Jenna.
Next up was September’s ROCK THE BAYOU Festival in Houston, Texas, where The Pistoleros headlined the Second stage after Twisted Sister & just before Bret Michaels to such a fantastic reaction that they were invited back to the Rocklahoma main stage in 2009.

"If you missed this the first time around, or were too slow to catch the ship before it sailed into out of print land, this is your chance to get your hands on what could be the best album of 2008. Yes it really was that good, and with the extra tracks, it got even better." -The Spunky Lobster, Komodo Rock
"Para Siempre is a thrill-a-minute collection of melodic eye-patch swagger that smells of exotic spices and forbidden concubines. " - Sleaze Grinder

"I’m not sure how it came about but The Gypsy Pistoleros have come up with an interesting, individual sound and there just isn’t anything else like it at the moment. ‘Para Siempre’ is as exotic as rock n’ roll can get." - Jonni Starr, DirtyRock.net
"The Gypsy Pistoleros have been the talk of the town in Hard Rock circles for a few months now and all the accolades are well deserved." - Heavy Metal Addiction
